[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Critics say that’s because city leaders have refused to meaningfully limit traffic on the major arterial roads, where people drive like they are on highways but are on urban streets dense with pedestrians and cyclists.[/quote] There's an insidious form of NIMBYism in DC whereby residents of neighborhood streets will advocate strongly against the installation of traffic calming measures on arterial roads. The "Save Connecticut Avenue" nonsense was just the latest and most obnoxious example of this. Residents of neighborhood streets, of course, want as much traffic to go quickly as possible on arterial roads as they drive these roads and want nothing less than for traffic to spill over to their streets. That people are being killed at an alarming rate on arterial roads due to their obstructionism doesn't seem to faze them much.[/quote] Please provide the alarming statistics for Connecticut Ave.[/quote]
